Description

The trolley of utilization radio frequency identification
Technical field
The present invention relates to the trolley of a kind of utilization radio frequency identification (RFID), especially relate to a kind of have can close loam cake to reduce the trolley of electromagnetic wave to the utilization radio frequency identification (RFID) of human body harm.
Background technology
In mass merchant or supermarket, go-cart often is consumer good assistant easily when buying commodity, uses go-cart portable to replace when entering the sales field, and not only the thing that once can buy increases, and saves also that the consumer goes window-shopping or the muscle power of sales field.Recently, the development in science and technology in radio frequency identification (RFID) field is rapid, more existing inventions are applied in radio frequency identification (RFID) device on the trolley, make no matter be to calculate at check-out counter to buy the amount of money, or when when the consumer buys commodity, providing assistance services, dealer and consumer all can be provided more accurate and more efficient shopping environment, this patent for example: No. the 588267th, Taiwan patent case, United States Patent (USP) case the 6179206th, the 6659344th, and No. 5729697.
Yet, in the content of above-mentioned patent, its radio frequency identification (RFID) equipment can enter the sales field from the consumer, does shopping, checks out, to going out the sales field, ceaselessly broadcast RF to detect go-cart inside or environmental change, just this patent is only at electromagnetic application and scope, and and reckon without and reduce electromagnetic wave the influence of human body and the problem of radio frequency identification (RFID) device electric power.Test is found according to reality, and in No. the 6659344th, United States Patent (USP) case, its RF read range is also wayward in the scope that only reads go-cart inside, but may read the identification label of commodity on contiguous go-cart or the bin; In No. the 5729697th, United States Patent (USP) case, the object that its described RF read direction can Yin Chenei is put, the mode of storehouse, cause having in the car radio frequency identification (RFID) read less than the dead angle.
Federal Communications Administration Bureau (FCC) is the responsible institution of U.S.'s radio-wave radiation; It is every square centimeter 1000 microwatt (1000uW/cm in the set safety standard of 800-900MHz scope 2); Taiwan telecommunication bureau of Ministry of Communications regulation electromagnetic intensity and the scope of launch time are then as shown in the table:
Frequency range (MHz) Electric field intensity (V/m) Magnetic field intensity (A/m) Power density (mW/cm 2) Averaging time (minutes)
0.3-3.0 614 1.63 *100 30
3-30 1842/f 4.89/f *180/f2 30
30-300 27.5 0.073 1.0 30
300-1,500 ----- ----- f/1500 30
15,000-100,000 ----- ----- 1.0 30
Annotate 1: mark * represents plane wave equivalent power density.
Just think, if every shopping cart all has the device that constantly sends radio wave signal, the received radiowave amount of consumer in the sales field is easy to just to surpass safety value, and this all can produce harmful effect for the consumer or for sell goods personnel's health of market.
In addition, because the device of the radio frequency identification (RFID) in go-cart power consumption is big, make go-cart often to charge, therefore the sales field just needs to prepare many go-carts and space in case of need, this also can be a great number cost for the dealer, if moreover client use the time of go-cart more of a specified duration, in case power drain then also can have influence on the normal running of radio frequency identification (RFID) makes the quite inconvenience of running of system; Simultaneously, the waste of the energy (electric power) does not meet the surging tendency of the day of present environmental consciousness yet.
